115 A good example is a list generated from an API call. This is a subclass
116 of InfinitePaginator because we have no idea how many items exist in the
119 To accurately determine if the next page exists, a FinitePaginator MUST be
120 created with an object_list_plus that may contain more items than the
121 per_page count. Typically, you'll have an object_list_plus with one extra
122 item (if there's a next page). You'll also need to supply the offset from
123 the full collection in order to get the page start_index.
125 This is a very silly class but useful if you love the Django pagination
